7+ hours of sleep = a newer, better mom

Hazel slept for 8 hours last night and went 8 and a half hours between her last meal of the night and her first meal of the morning. I went to bed at 10 and woke up at 5:30 am. It was amazing. I hope it happens again. I have been awake since then and feel more energized than I have in a long long time. Hazel is currently napping in her swing and I’m sure she will wake up hungry and ready to play. I am hoping play time will wear her out for a repeat 7+ hour night time sleep tonight!

In other news here at the Benoit household, we have been spending a lot of time over at Omi’s house (Omi is the name we’ve decided on for my mom). Aunt Sarah has been in town visiting from Colorado so we’ve been spending quite a bit of time with them this week. Saturday was Sarah’s birthday and yesterday was Clayton’s birthday. Hazel has been celebrating with us- Saturday we all went to Olive Garden (and Hazel even got to eat her dinner while we were at the restaurant, what a trooper). Yesterday we grilled at my mom’s house and got to meet my mom’s friend’s family. It’s hard to believe that Clayton is 15 and Sarah is 21!!! It has been a fun family filled week- tomorrow Sarah leaves to go home and my mom and Clayton fly to Germany to visit Oma (my grandma). It will be weird not seeing them for two weeks after spending so much time with them- I know we will miss them while they’re gone- it has been nice to go over there for a change of scenery during the week!

I hope to upload some new videos of Hazel tomorrow- so check back often!
